See also: Scrapped Merchandise
The following is a list of prototype merchandise released for The Lion Guard.
This list is for merchandise that was eventually released, and does not include merchandise that was scrapped entirely.
Pride Land Brawlers[]
The earliest images used as stock photos contained prototypes of each figure. The eyes of the earliest prototypes were noticeably smaller, and the colors of the figures were brighter and the Mark of the Guard on all members was to be painted in their original colors and not with invisible colors as seen in the final version that got released.

Pride Land Brawlers (action figures)[]
The two figures that were released at a later date (Janja and Fuli) both had 3D printed models shown at Toy Fair New York. Fuli had been listed on the German Amazon website, but even though she could be purchased, she unfortunately was scrapped very late, thus not making her purchasable.
My Busy Books[]
The figures used to advertising the book are much higher quality prototypes.
Blind Bag Figures[]
Many of the stock art images shown on the boxes are prototypes. In addition to this, some prototypes were shown at Toy Fair 2017. Kiara's colors changed in the final version of her. The roaring Kion was supposed to have open eyes, but the final one has them closed.

Villain Figures[]
Some stock art photos show much older prototypes of the villain figures from Just Play. Janja had colors that were closer to a Lion King hyena look. Ushari got a darker skincolor. Reirei got a darker furcolor as well.

Single Figures[]
Some websites listed prototype images of the single figures before the finalized versions were available. Kion had incorrect coloring around his eyes and stomach fur. Bunga is missing his three cheek spots in the final version. Beshte and Bunga's prototypes both lacked the Mark of the Guard.

Poseable Figures[]
An early look at the Jasiri figure found at the Toy Fair 2017 suggests that the second figure in the Poseable Figures would be poseable, too. The colors were also more faithful to the hyenas from The Lion King.

Playsets[]
Pride Rock and Outlands[]
This was originally just a Pride Rock playset. The original prototype was larger in size and also ressembled more the season 3 location Cikha Escarpement than Pride Rock, therefore naming it incorrectly.

Rise of Scar[]
Protoypes for the were found on Amazon as stock art, showing a very early model.
A later model was found at Toy Fair 2017, which lacked the electronics.
A more recent stock art shows another prototype, which appears to be the final model, only much more polished.

The cover changed three times before it got its final version. In the first version Chungu was depicted on the cover, this is however incorrect, because it stars Jasiri, a friendly hyena, who becomes friends with Kion.
